Density Theory

Density Theory refers to the idea that the distribution of people or things in a given area can influence various social, economic, and environmental outcomes. In urban studies, for example, higher density often leads to more efficient use of resources, like public transport and services, but can also create challenges, such as congestion and pollution. Conversely, low-density areas may offer more space and tranquility but can lead to increased car dependency and less efficient resource use. Balancing density is key to creating functional, livable spaces that meet the needs of communities while promoting sustainability.
